For a good portion of the depth chart, Saturday will be their first time to walk out of the tunnel in the South end zone and into a frothing Jordan-Hare Stadium. Gus did put a ton of freshmen on the depth chart, and we know we’ll see a good many of them play, so it will definitely be their debut in one of the best home atmospheres in college football.

"I remember standing at the tunnel and it felt like my whole family was right there."

It’s time for another senior spotlight, and today it comes with Stephen Roberts — a local guy! Roberts has locked down starter spots at safety and punt returner, and he’ll be an important leader for the Tigers in the back end.

"I'm truly blessed. Trying to make the best out of this last season for us."

As for some news, Kevin Steele met with the media last night and told us that we’re going to have a surprise starter on defense. Due to Marlon Davidson’s fall camp bump, he’s not totally back in football conditioning shape, and that just opens the door for Nick “Greek God” Coe to start in his place.

Auburn D coordinator Kevin Steele said Nick Coe will start on Saturday. He was listed as the backup to Marlon Davidson on the depth chart.
